Women in multiplayer and no swastikas in that mode. Seriously.

Spider-Man and Batman I believe are the 2 most popular super heroes in the world.
Yup.
Can't wait for this game. So many games I want are 2018 though, booo.
Yeah, I enjoy Batman stuff. I figured he'd be #1 by a long shot.
Yes also, Gaf is a bubble, it's views don't reflect gamers as a whole.
Or else every JRPG would be out selling COD if that was the case.

Holy shit. I thought Battlefront would win this, but people went insane for Spiderman.
COD having the highest like\views ratio is...something. Is it because people don't watch the same trailer more than once unlike other games?
The game is actually quite high if you count the Japanese trailer.

Spiderman makes more money and sells more merchandise than several other big name superheroes combined. He is incredibly popular and has been for a long time now.

Yeah, as somebody who played the first game and has subsequently never had any interest in the franchise since, this reboot (or whatever you want to call it) is hot hot fire. Can't get over how good it looks.

I can't even find the trailer on the PlayStation EU channel, the strongest market for it : |
GT is a strange beast because they are uploading videos first on a separate GT channel, which is not so widely known. So the trailer has 188.000 views there. Then you have the PlayStation US channel and it's quite bad with less than 88.000 views, compared to 3 213 369 views for Forza 7.

You may as well have asked what people see in every single first-person shooter released since Quake 2.
Who knows?
Regardless, I am mildly interested in Days Gone. If nothing else, it certainly looks pretty.
Spiderman is more popular than Batman, Avengers & Superman. COMBINED.
Was this always the case? He was always my favorite solo superhero growing up, and I had essentially all of the comics aside from the first few original prints (X-Men being my favorite team comic). Might want to go back thirty and fifty years.
More than NFS Payback gameplay trailer, for exampleNon-gaming media really eating this up too.

Can't underestimate mainstream appeal.

It's worth noting that someone mentioned in the other trailer views thread that the F7's trailer was boosted. Basically if you see any trailers in the OP that have a 0.XX views/like ratio, they were likely boosted.

I get the impression both Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade 2 may land with a thud. Not on the chart (putting them below the Yoshi teaser and the Skyrim port), and regardless of how good they may or may not turn out to be, a discernible lack of enthusiasm from the established niche audiences that are the core of their target market.
They were both known quantities coming into the show instead of new announcements, to be fair, but we hadn't seen much of anything about them prior to E3 (and were all waiting on another sign of that 2017 commitment for Xenoblade), so I think their middling performance here is still an indicator.

Spiderman got a lot of views from the Marvel channel, which has a lot of non gamers that follow it.
Like what? I'm genuinely interested in other games like this on steam, especially if they are cheap.

I'll have it fixed... later. This list will be defunct in a few days time once Mario climbs up the view chart. It is has by far the most view-count growth speed of any trailer in E3.
Never thought i see that Kamen Rider Reference on gaming side
That's basically TLOU "on steroids", which was already a pretty good game "as is". And now imagine this as open-world game with dynamic weather, different routes, etc.
So, no wonder why Days Gone is pretty popular.

No doubt they market researched the shit out of Days Gone.
And to be fair, like 5-10 years ago when I thought about my ideal Zombie game it was an open-word, realistic, thirdperson shooter with good graphics. There have been a lot of zombie games but nothing that ticked all those boxes.

Exactly. Why wouldn't the Spider-Man game be promoted in the same channel that's promoting a soon to be released film of the same character? It really does need to show something though that separates it more from the Arkham games. While the game looked fun enough, it really just looked like a reskin for the most part.
I am really happy for you, Insomniac.
Now take that money and make Resistance 4
Sorry fam, they have to make the new Ratchet first.

Still sold well though.

People like to think the zombi genre is over saturated but its not. There has never been a gritty, open world zombie game that also has a strong story focus.
Sony or Insomniac or someone responsible for the advertising of this game has huge reach. Marvel vs Capcom Infinite's trailer on Marvel's channel is not even 500k. The disparity is huge.

The emergent gameplay of Days Gone is going to be really appealing to people, especially once Twitch streamers start playing it. It's gonna be big.

Considering Halo wars 2 has several trailers that surpassed 5 mio views, I am not sure if the views mean much, when it comes to sales. I think it's just one aspect of many, so it can't stand by itself, but good reviews and impressions all around as well as making people aware and interested are all contributors to games selling well.
BTW I am very surprised that Anthem isn't the most viewed, as it was, for me, out of all the trailers shown the most impressive and interesting one. It just tells you how much awareness there is around a sony conference.

Nice to see some Gaffers finally come around on Days Gone. I've been saying for months that this community has been way off regarding that one. It's going to be a very successful title.
